A race that lacks early pressure on paper. A good contest. ROSE DIAMOND (13) has switched from a top Victorian barn on a 45-day return. She brings compelling form from better races and maps for the run of the race. Penza rides and the betting will be key. RUFUS ATTICUS (7) was beaten less than 2L this track/distance first up, and is sure to have come on. Draws the outside barrier, but McDougall stays aboard, and that helps. HELL OF A FOX (11) has switched from a NSW stable to the all-conquering Pepper yard, on a 40-day return. Loy is a positive jockey engagement, and the filly has pieces of form that would see her in the finish. WILD SENSATION (1) peaks and was much better at Hawkesbury. Like Collett's booking and she can use the inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rose Diamond if the betting suggests stable confidence.
